What is tooth clenching (bruxism)?

 

Teeth clenching or grinding is an unconscious movement, usually during stress or sleep. This can put pressure on the jaw joint and cause pain and tooth wear.

A night plate is a transparent appliance used to prevent clenching or grinding of the teeth. It reduces the pressure on the jaw joint and prevents the teeth from wearing down.

 

No, the night plate has a light and comfortable construction. It is put on before going to sleep and can be used easily.

Botox is applied to the chewing muscles to reduce the overactivity of these muscles. Thus, teeth clenching and jaw pain problems are alleviated.

The effect of Botox treatment usually lasts 4-6 months. Long-term relief can be achieved with regular application.

 

  • Wear and fracture of teeth

  • Pain in the jaw muscles

  • Damage to the jaw joint

  • Sleep disorders

 

It is more common in individuals with a stressful lifestyle, people with sleep disorders or people with problems in the jaw structure.

 

Continued use of night plasters depends on an assessment by your physician. In some cases, long-term use may be necessary.
